Are there any Green Day music videos that weren't released?

I was going through some Green Day videos on youtube and all of a sudden I found the un-released music video for whatsername and I was just wondering if there are any other Green Day videos that are un-released?

That Whatsername video has been floating around the internet forever, but yeah it's not official. But it does have the actress in it that played Whastername in the JOS video. I read a story somewhere on GDC which said that the footage was leaked somewhere on the internet but without the audio, and a fan put the song on it, added some stuff and uploaded it. Not sure if that's true. But that makes some sense because it is shot in the same style as the JOS video, but seems unfinished and kinda boring. I think it was just a demo or something, maybe they wanted to release Whatsername as a single at some point but scrapped the idea and the video.

Wow, what an agressive and out-of-nowhere comment. Yeah, sorry for assuming you go on Green Day's Youtube channel, I mean that's where the videos are... and stuff...

Lol, yeah, because the only place you can find Green Day video's is on their official youtube channel. I just went there, now I'm downloading Know Your Enemy music video in HD. I didn't have that one before.

This is correct. It's not fake, the footage was shot by Sam Bayer to be used in a Whatsername video and it got leaked (with no audio on it) a few years ago. We had a thread about it on here, and someone uploaded a version with the audio added so we could see/hear what it'd be like.

Since then it's been labelled as an offical unreleased video on youtube which is incorrect, it's not a finished video it's just some footage shot for a video that they never made in the end so for all we know they might've only used clips from it as one small part of a video. So yeah, it's footage shot for a video but it's not a finished video.

There's an alternate video of Warning to the one you'd see on TV, pretty boring though as it's just studio footage.. I'm surprised they never did any home made videos pre Dookie considering they have two albums worth of material, i guess since there was no internet back then to get coverage on bands didn't do it as much as they do these days.

I'm glad I got clarification about this. I have been wondering about that Whatsername video! That's pretty cool that we get to see some footage though!
